    • Shout Out

      From VALIANTESIS1272822324 August 18

      Great champions have an enormous sense of pride. The people who excel are those who are driven to show the world and prove to themselves just how good they are.
      Nancy Lopez

      How beautiful it is to excel, and the goodness of giving from your heart.
      Robert Mondavi

      Humility and knowledge in poor clothes excel pride and ignorance in costly attire.

    • Close Family Issues

      Born again Christian. Father to a joyful son.

      Treatments

      Family Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      At least you can say you tried everything.
      Prayer Working / Worked
      A robust faith walk is a powerful coping tool.
      Talking Not Working
      Communication in general is important. Some things just cannot be discussed when you are each too close to the situation. Tread carefully, and recognize when you are approaching a minefield. Save it for the counseling.
    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      The wife was adamant for divorce. By April, I guess I was, too. We are trying to be amicable for the sake of our son, but she reserves the right to emote when the need arises. God, I hope this ends soon..

      Treatments

      Couples Counseling Not Working
      too little too late.
      Music Working / Worked
      My Aspen 6 patiently collected dust while I sought to serve a greater good. Having been released of that obligation, I'm back with my old flame and we are making beautiful music together.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      I've been blessed with strong, loving parents and friendships that have spanned many years more than my marriage.
      Faith Working / Worked
      Without my church family this would be a much darker ride. I know what the Bible says about divorce but Ive been reminded of Christs infinite capacity to forgive when we stumble.

    • Open Parenting Preschoolers (3-5)

      Single dad, participating in the ultimate extreme sport of parenthood with a gifted 4 year-old boy.

      Treatments

      Education (School) Too Soon to Tell
      Still fighting this with the X. Long story to be told elsewhere. It should happen by January.
      Patience Working / Worked
      It really is a virtue
      Play Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      Any time you give is mutually therapudic. My son is in play therapy to make sure he's ok as the X and I battle it out. I frankly think he gets more out of time spent with his folks.
      Positive Reinforcement Working / Worked
      Always remember to say "thank-you" for the smallest tasks carried out.
